Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 5 October 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 5 October 2020 2 minutes ago, Babylon said: No... you can't go out and buy expensive players just in case two players happen to get injured. It's just unlucky to lose two players in the same position. Thats why someone like Cantwell could be an option as he is equally as comfortable playing wide left and attacking midfield. It all rests on Gray going obviously but that extra option to cover for Barnes and bring some creativity from the bench would be nice. Highly doubtful though, maybe we will go for Walcott on loan, another who could play in a few positions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 Just watching sky sports news, tuned in for what should be the most disappointing deadline day ever (but it's quiet at work so why not) Do we read anything into Rob Dorsett being at the King Power stadium? Not that I rely on Rob Dorsett, but have sky heard anything about potential movement? Or have they just stuck him there so he's getting paid for doing something today rather than sat his pants all day at home tweeting everything he reads on here??

Isn’t part of the reason for releasing Silva, Slimani, to get the large wage outlay off the ledger, and someone like Cantwell would be on a fairly low (comparatively) wage? So yes we may spend more than the Chilwell money, but be better off overall due to wage reduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 Its only a couple of months until January so no need to get desperate, but we have so many games between now and the window opening again that we need the squad depth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in terms of space in the 25 man squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might still be paying Silva a proportion of his wages, unlikely due to the free but you never know. Also debatable if you're better off. Silva and Slimani is £8m a season in wages. Signing Cantwell for £15m and paying him £4m per year isn't really a saving. We also need to pay for infrastructure, so I'd imagine much of the saving in wages is earmarked for that. Our wages are way too high for our income and we also have losses to account for this season due to Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 (edited) @Babylon Yes, you are probably right in terms of being better off, was just pondering it is all. Edited 5 October 2020 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 Loans can be done after today yes? No chance anyone takes Slimani off our hands for a fee today so it's going to be a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimani will go for free on a permanent this afternoon, he can't go on loan because he's out of contract in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 I think Gray needs to go for his own sake as much as ours. He is undoubtedly talented but it hasn't worked out for whatever reason. If we could get in Cantwell as a result, that would be worth a gamble. But would he come? I think our understandable focus on Vardy upfront makes it difficult for us to attract attacking players.

Pliskin Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 Rico Henry will probably he looked at I think. And We may probably be looking at a loan for an attacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never getting a fee for him anyway, need his wages off the books. Another horrific signing, on a personality level as much as anything else which is weird as we normally get that spot on.
